But one of the pr: ;.l subscriptions, for $500, is con- ditionzil i: the whole of the sum necessary being snii~c ‘red.

'l‘-.vc‘.ve nionihs without a single fatal acci- dent is an amazing record for any transporta- tion system. It is perhaps the more remarkable 0o far as passage by air is concerned, since air travel is still in its infan and the men who pilot the planes have not t e long years of ex- perience behind them which other forms of transportation enjoy. It is probably because misadventure by plane h generally spectacular that it commands front page space in the newspapers. Accidents in which private planes are involved and for which inexperienced pilots are generally responsible have no doubt created s distrust of sir trans- port in many minds. Yet thousands are killed every year on the roads and never a month goes py iviihout a railway accident taking its toll of ‘IVCQ. The record of carrying 2,028,000 passengers during a. year Witlimlt s single fatal accident should do something to dispel this wholly un- YICPPQWITY anxiety.

The lavish use of orders-in-coiuicil for such purposes is criticised as undesirable. Parliament, it is sug- gested, might nicer for two months, adjourn for two months or for a shorter period, and then meet again. In this way the development of our war effort could be submitted, not to a sin- gle session of review, but to a. semi-continuous audit. ' These and other statements that could be quoted indicate that the more responsible Lib- eral newspapers are becoming seriously concern- ed at the prospect of the Government's topheavy majority in the llouse of Commons, They are seeing trouble ahead if the Government ac- cepts the election results merely as an indorsa- non of its record, and are plllClllg emphagig on the very special responsibilities entailed in the new mandate received. - EDITORIAL NOTES — "QIIVCYDGOILISHIIIDTIICG this date, I774. “But “inter lingering chills the lap of May." ‘F W‘ N‘ l‘ 0'11)’ 41 P" will 0f the snlrlicrs’ vote went in support of .\_lr.

We have u, pretty clear notion of what the Africans are feeling about the present German Govern- ment and its chief. One of the most. surprising results of the war has been the rush of the Africans to the French Colours. "What," asks M. Mandel, the French Colo- nial Minister, "is the profound ex- planation of this prodigious crus- ade? It is because the native pop- ulations have been 10m: aware that our country, which has brought, them security and justice, knows no religious or racial distinctions between man and man, and than, after having improved their lot. it. labours to incorporate them into tho national life. As against this the native populations are aware that the German propaganda is founded upon a conception of rac- ial superiority. It is the chief of the Reich himself who, in the master-book in which he has formulated his program, has treated the Negfoes as half- monkey; accused of ‘criminal folly’ governments of the white race who have "srnned," he says. "against the creator‘ 1n according them political rights. From that moment, how could Negroes not feel themselves directly menaoed by the colonial claims of Germany? Meditate upon this fact of high importance: the peoples of the black race con- sider that the victorv of Germauv would expose them to the greatest. peril which they have encountered since the abolition of slavcnv." - 1-1. A. L. Fisher 1n The Fortnightly (London). A considerable number of the German magnetic mines have now been recovered and examined by our experts. and I am permitted to make public some of the ilctriils of their construction. The mine is pear-shaped and can bc laid cltii- er by suL-narine or from a sm- piane by parachute. It weighs coin- ulete about 1.500 lbs. and as the practicable icad of most G'9‘i'.*i‘l1‘1 seapianes does not exceed 3.100 pounds, only two of the mines can be transported by air on any one trip as against the 30 or 40 that form the cargo in a submarine- minelayer. The explosive used is a weliknown compound similar to that used by us and is not some- thing secret. of exceptional power. The amount used in cncli mine Ls about 700 pounds. The principle on which it works may be briefly, and non-technically. explained thus. A magnetic "needle" inside the mine ls held in a horizontal position ‘Jy springs no matter nt Wlliil} ancic the container may be lying on the seabed. A ship passing directly over the mine attracts one end of this needle upwards, and the opposite end dips until it touches an elec- trical contact, and so completes a circuit which fires the mine This makes it quite clear that it is not. as many people have sup- posed, the whole mine which 1s lifted from the sea-bed by inns- netic attraction to hit against the hull of the ship. The miigrritzc field set up by the hull of the shin affects only the actuntlnt: needle inside the mine, The castinz of the mine is made of aluminium. and all the parts, are naturally. made of non-magnetic material. There Ls much drama 1n the story of the recovery of the first example which our experts were able to dissect. 0n the night of November 22 artiiiorymcn at Shoeburyness saw a German sca- plane drop two objects attached to arachutes, which fell near the ow-watier line on the fozeshote. The Admiralty was at. once ad- vised, and menoe an urgent order was sent. to the experts at. the Mining School at Portsmouth for them to get. to Shoeburyn-ess at. once. Meantime a naval officer from Southend took a photographer along the foreshore as the tide fell, and at a respectful distance flash- light picture were taken of the mine. By 4.30 a.m.—slx hours after the first ‘phone call-the pa..ty from Portsmouth arrived and set to work. The took their lives in their hands, or they might eastiv have touched off the mine by some accidental movement, and a week or two later the Kim: decorated all five of them for their bravery The first thing was to anchor tne mine so that 1t should not move t-h the rising tide. Then they made aper rubblngs of some of the ex rnai fittings in order to have tools made that would un- fasten the nuts and bolts. By that time it was again low water. soon after midday Shoieburyness exper- lmental department had produced the improved tools. all made of non-magnetic material, and the little party set out across the fore- shore again. Lieutenant ‘Com- mander J. G. D. Ouvry under- took to tackle the opening of the mlng first. Ho told the others which fitting he would start on, so that. if he ‘aiew himself up the others would not touch tha fit- ting on any other mine they tried to examine. He worked the fit- ting loose and found that it ap- ared to be the detonator. Bo go whole party then set. to work on other parts, and. suddenly they had a shock. for one of the fit.- tt-ngs they pried off proved to be a second‘ detonator. They worked feverishly all through low water, and by 4.40 pm. they had not only made the mine 1n- nocuous, but had loaded it on a lorry for despatch to Portsmouth, where every detail of it could be carefully analyzed and minutely examined by the specialist staff.—- By the Naval Correspondent of the Manchester Guardian.

Authority for such action is found 1n an act of 1921 which authorizes the ministry to make regulations as may be considered necessary by reason of war for the security, defence. peace, order and welfare of Canada. The legality o! tho emissions appears to be beyond question, and the power to issue them by order- ln-cciuncll 1n a war emergency ll one which a government may pro- perly pos . But however neces- sary it may be to have a. certain amount of "cabinet government" in wartime, ft does not. follow that emergency “laws" enacted by l. ministry should continue in force without investigation and revision by parliament when there ts ample opportunity for parliament w deal with them. This has been recognised in Bri- tain. where the defence regulations at first: 1n foroe were submitted to an all-party committee of parlia- ment. with the result that many modifications were made. In some respects the modified regulations are less strict than Canada's. Ours. too, should 80 t0 a parilasnentilsry committee for revision. and should then be dealt with by parliament as a whole. Thai; is the democratic way, One of the dangers of war-oven a war for democracy-ls that some- thing of democracy may be loot in the very countries which are fight- ing for its survival. Defence regu- lations of unnecessary scope and severity, involving needless 1n- fringonient upon the liberty of the subject and oontravcnlrig the prin- ciple that a man is to be presumed innocent until proven guilty by a oourt of justice, are 1n themselves n. violation of democracy. 'I‘heir- ox- istence without parliamentary sanction when parliament. can readily examine and deal with 111cm is. or would be a further vio- laUon c1’ democratic procedure. The defence regulations and the cen=or=hip regulations should both come under review when parlia- ment meets. Bulgaria’s Position (The Hungarian Quarterly) It is interesting to note that. Bul- garin seems, of all the Dariubian connttlcs, farthest removed from wished-for soldarity. This ma be ascribed to two causes. One of t ese is the strengthening "pond between Sofia and Moscow. the other the fact. that Bulgaria's territorial claims are still awaiting satis- faction. At. the beginning of July, 1939, the Bulgarian prime minister, M. Kiosseivanov, went to Berlin; on October 19 he resigned. and it. virus thought. that he would be suc- ceeded by Mr. Musanoy, pzesid-snt of the chamber. well known for his interest in west European ques- tions But after a four days‘ delay s: king reappointed M. Kiosaelv- nnov, kfanv people believe that the Bulgarian question occupies the centre of southeast European prob- lems. This may be partly due to the geographic fact that Bulgaria is situated 1n the middle of the Baikanic, Danubian and Black Sea area; partjv to the recognition that a discussion of her territorial frustrations will remind the world that other states also have terri- torinl claims. In any case it is impossible, for the present, to obtain a clear pic- ture of what 1s going on in Bulgaria. There is a feeling that the Bulgarian. indeed the entire southeast European problem. ‘which resolves itself into the strengthen- ing or weakwruia of the <oi“""“v movement, depends an the Euro- pean situation. or rather on the rr“rn'"ff\ formed of in south- eastern Europe. It is certain that the latest de- vclopments in America's foreign ollcy, the stagnation of the of- enslve on the western front, and, v-rrhnos most of all, the tentative manifestation of Halo-Soviet. an- tagonism, have made a deep im- press1_c~n_ip__t.hese parts. to defend it by arms whenever need arises. one mav guess that sooner or later the United States will decide to accept wo-id re- sponsibilities transcending the limits of the American continent. Its hyslcal power. its restige. its wea th, its unpursllel industrial equipment. the fact that It is art and parcel of Western civiilzafon -ali drive it in that direction. But until it makes its decision Europe alone must, uphold the world order on which our civilization depends. -Andre Siegfried 1n "Foreign Af- fairs" (New York.) O. P. R. EARNINGS UP MONTREAL.

Proportional _ Representation, —-—- i (Halifax Chronicle) ' The slow compilation of the A)- berta provincial election returns, which began days before the dom- fnian election and remained u_n- certain long after the dominion result was established. 1s the more easy to understand if one studies the cumbersome systems employ- ed. There are two systems 1n Ai- berta: the Single ‘Transferable Vote used in most. rldlngs and the system of Proportional Representa- tion used 1n Ca. ry and Edmon- n. Both these systems give the voter extra choices: Thus. if the contest. is not decided on the first count. more counts follow eliminating candidates and determinins winners. The object of Proportional Re- presentation is to 81W! 0801i DBYW representation in pro rtion w its strength. The ballot lsts not. only the candidates but. the 8101119 i", party supporting each. And the voter may vote for several can- didates lf he wishes This he does bv placing a number after each name. denoting ‘irst, second, third choice and so on. The amazing result 1s revealed cm the General Statement of the Returning Officer for the Electoral District of Edmonton. The con- stituenc elects five members. There a quota necessary for elec- tion wa-s 7.291. When a candidate has more than that quota his sur plus votes are transferred to the next available choice marked on the ballot. If the first tally does not elect enough candidates, the candidate with the smallest num- ber of first choices is eliminated and another transfer takes place. fn Edmonton fifteen counts were necessary to obtain the final re- sult.
